"Elder Lein has granted us permission to move," Efan said, his voice now livelier, like he was delivering long-awaited good news. "If you manage to kill those three Grandmasters, he's promised a special reward."
For a moment, the two old men stood in silence, as if they couldn't believe what they'd just heard. Their eyes shifted from doubt to sharp focus, and a spark of excitement lit up in their previously weary gazes.
"Is what you're saying true, Young Friend Efan?" Takarra asked seriously. Behind his usual calm, a flicker of hesitation remained. In situations like this, it was rare for any elder to offer personal rewards just for eliminating enemies.
Normally, the sect only offered official compensation in the form of war points. A reward directly from an elder? That was almost unheard of.
Efan raised an eyebrow slightly, as if the question didn't warrant repeating. "You have my word. A Legendary Chest isn't out of the question."
